IFigarol Comeciy Is
Modern Version
Back in the 18th century Mozart
wrote a comic opera and called it
"The Marriage of Figaro" Now
the Nine O'Clock Opera Company
has modernized the opera, trans-lated
it into English, and gone on
its second annual tour with it,
bringing it to the Augustana Col-lege
campus on the evening of
March 5.
In Italian, "Figaro" was a great
opera. Translated into English it
becomes a great comedy as well.
Non-essentials in the old-fash-ioned
plot are eliminated and the
story is condensed. The bridge of
150 years is spanned by The Nar-rator
who, with charm and
sophistication, helps awaken the
imagination of the audience to
see what it does .not see, for the
staging will be only bare essen-tials.
When the production was first
presented in New York two years
ago, the critics were united in
their enthusiasm for a Figaro
which could be as hilarious as a
Broadway farce and yet fulfill
the highest standards of musical
excellence.
Dr. Skinsnes
All-School Party
To Be 'Informal'
The first all-school party of the
second semester will be held at
8:00 o'clock this Saturday night in
the Augustana gymnasium. It will
be a "get-together" for all the
students, and a chance for the fel-lows
who will be leaving with the
army reservists to see their
friends and be honored by their
student association.
Games of deck tennis, volley
ball, shuffle board, badminton,
and ping pong will be played in
the gym. The Huddle annex will
be open and the tables loaded
with food, and the new lounge
will be open to use as a resting
place between the bursts of stren-ous
exercise upstairs.
It will be an informal evening
of games, with a chance for a lot
of comradeship and will give the
fellows a last glimpse of Augus-tana
having fun.
Old Glory waves in new glory
and Augustana has a member of
its staff who is decorated for
bravery.
In a solemn ceremony Tuesday
morning in President Granskou's
office, Martin Vangsness, the
school's jack-of-all-trades, more
commonly called janitor, was pre-sented
with a token of apprecia-tion
by Pres. Granskou, Dean
Cole, Dr. Hauge, and Deb Hanson.
The story runs like this:
You have undoubtedly all
noticed the tattered remnant of
our nation's flag which was flying
over Augustana. The reason —
the snap had gotten stuck at the
top of the pole and there was no
way of moving the flag either up
or down. All of the flag pole pain-ters
had gone south for the winter
and there were no eager volun-teers
to take over their job and
climb the pole. Consequently, the
Stars and Stripes had to brave the
winter storms. UNTIL —
Martin became a hero and with
the help of the city fire depart-ment's
ladders, he scaled the
Augustana Loses
Army Reservists
Augustana's man-power was
further depleted last Monday
when army reservists were call-ed
to active duty. This is the sec-ond
group to receive their call
in the last two weeks, the army
air corps reserve having gone
last week.
Thirty-one men were ordered to
report at Fort Snelling on March
fifth for processing and assign-ment.
From there they will be
sent to a regular camp for basic
training. Augustana fellows who
received their call are as follows:
Pvt. Robert L. Ahiness
Pvt. Richard P. Ausan
Pvt. James Z. Assid
Pvt. Arnold Boyum
Pvt. Robert L. Carlson
Pvt. Forrest G. Dannenbring
Pvt. Donald C. Ellis

Stanley Gjervik
Augie Forensic
Squad Goes to
Lincoln Meet
Three members of the Augus-tana
Forensic Squad left this
morning for Lincoln, Nebraska
where the University of Nebraska
is sponsoring an inter-collegiate
speech tournament.
Ruth Arnold, Alice Thomas,
Bob Snook and their coach, Keith
E. Case entrained for Lincoln this
morning and will return on Satur-day
or Sunday. They will be en-tered
in debate, discussion, ora-tory,
and radio-newscasting.
Snook is the only remaining
member of the men's squad, since
Harold Houske and Jim McBath
left last week for the air corps.
This will be his last trip, since he
will leave with the army re-servists
who have been called to
active duty on March 5.
Discussion groups at the tour-nament
will debate the pros and
cons of the manpower question
and it is hoped that they may be
able to draft some resolutions
which may be sent to Washington
for consideration.
for hoisting the new flag which
now flies in front of the Ad build-ing.
Although the firemen, who
are seasoned ladder climbers,
were on hand to catch him if
he fell, Martin didn't hear any
eager shouts of 'let me do it.'
So, you see, there was a very
good reason for his decora-tion.
Modest Martin considered it
only in his line of duty so when
Pres. Granskou asked him to come
and see him Tuesday morning,
poor Mr. Vangsness was at sea
to know the reason, and was grop-ing
frantically for an excuse for
something he didn't know he had
done — AND THEN — to be
greeted by such an imposing array
of faculty members. Martin says
his knees shook so he could hardly
stand and take his punishment.
Well, it all turned out all right,
and if Martin is passing cigars to
the fellows, you'll know it is be-cause
he was decorated for brav-ery
with a box of cigars.
Stan Gjervik was presented by
Min Paulson to the student body
last Friday morning as our new
student prexy, after a short talk
by Harold Houske, in which he
withdrew from the presidential
race.
There was to have been a run-off
election between Gjervik and
Houske, but due to the fact that
Houske received his army air
corps call when he was in Denver
attending a speech meet, nothing
could be done until his return on
Thursday.
In Houske's talk on Friday he
said that he had decided to accept
Uncle Sam's call to the air corps,
and withdrew completely from
the running. Min Paulson, the re-tiring
prexy, gave a short talk,
followed by Stan Gjervik's ac-ceptance.
Other officers were also
presented, or named, in case of
their absence. They are: vice-president,
Margaret Eid; secre-tary,
Bergie Halvorson; treasurer,
LaVerne Howe; sophomore repre-sentative,
Paul Olson, and fresh-man
representative, Bobby Carl-son.
Reception Is Held
For New Mid-Termers
At a reception last night in the
Huddle, the new mid-year stu-dents
were given a chance to meet
representatives of the faculty and
the student body, in the same
manner as every freshman class
is received in the fall.
The Huddle annex was decor-ated
in a patriotic theme, using
red, white and blue crepe paper
around the table and red and
white crysanthemums for a cen-terpiece.
Miniature American
flags were given as favors.
The musical program consisted
of selections by Evelyn Granskou
on the cello, Phyllis Riley at the
piano, and vocal numbers by Paul
Eid.
This reception was the first act
of the new social board, with the
general arrangements under the
direction of Audrey Stark, and
the program arranged by Audrey
Brenne.
T-Mistresses Use
Triple Evaluation
Introducing a new twist in the
speech evaluation at the toast-mistress
meeting in the Huddle
annex on Feb. 18, the club used
triple evaluation.
Toastmistress Norma Ostroot
introduced the speakers who were
Rosalie Hobart, Marilyn True-blood,
and Marjorie Thompson.
The individual evaluators were
Elzabeth Graff, Connie Klein-heinz,
and Alice Thomas. Follow-ing
their evaluations of the speak-ers,
Master-evaluator Ruth Arn-old
evaluated her three assistants.
The final peak of the evaluations
was given by Dean Keith Case,
who gave criticisms on the mas-ter
evaluation and on the rest of
the group.
New members taken in the club
included Shirly Morgan, Corrinne
Griffith, and Lynne Stout. Mem-bers-
elect are Arlein Rekstad,
Charlotte Eisenmann, and Muneen
Johnson.
